[QUESTION][META] What happened to Bold Futura?

It may be a possibility that those subsidaries of Tagruato weren't even existant at all. The website has 'links' to their websites, but it just leads you to Tagruato's homepage again. They could just be cover-ups or distractions from whats really going on at Tagruato.

But, I really don't believe what I said above. I was always thinking that they would play a role in this ARG, but it looks like that won't happen... Sad

I think most of us thought the other subsidiaries' sites would eventually be up and running, but sadly, I think the people behind this ARG/ARE just didn't go with it. Which is sad, really, all that expectation we had. Oh, well...!

I think the only subsidiary that matters is the Slusho division, and there is a site for that. I think the others are there so Tagruato looks like a giant corporation, not just a beverage drilling company.

I don't believe there was ever plans to make websites for these other subsidiaries. If so, the would have registered some domain names before opening the Tagruato website.

If these are 'front' companies and do not exist, how do we explain the Parafun recall?

I'm in the same line of thinking as Dennis. As for the Parafun recall... well, that too could be a front to make Tagruato seem like a legitimate business. Though I still think there's websites we haven't found yet. Hopefully there's a DVD bonus feature discussing the evolution of the "Cloverfield" ARG/E and some of the ones we missed are mentioned Wink

Sounds like they're just there as filler to make Tagruato seem more like the shadowy conglomerate it's been called. The ParafFun recall definitely added to that - how many of us thought they were poisoning children with tainted crayons made out of sea nectar when that bomb dropped, huh?

I thought they would pop up but it makes sense that they didn't. They couldn't just say that slusho was responsible for this, it had to be a much bigger company. That being said, a large parent company wouldn't just own slusho, they would own several different smaller firms. Thus others (like paraffun, bold futura, etc.) had to come into play.

Ok so Tag was hacked on the 24th and the message was first heard on the 24th. So yeah I don't think the recall was a red herring but rather the reason for TIDO wave to become organized

edit:date change
